The racing game genre needs to take a break. New ones are just the same thing with minor graphical improvements.
I'm surprised they still made Myst for that long.
I never enjoyed Halo and don't look forward to new ones.
A franchise that I would like to see return is the Myth [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_(computer_game)] series. Bungie needs to spend time with that instead of Halo.
I'd also like to see the Army Men [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Men_(series)] series revived, although it definitely deserved to die after 3DO's churning of shoddy Army Men games.
Game Series that Need to Die
Metal Gear Solid - I thought they killed it already?
Halo - I'm sick of fricken fanboys
Games made by SEGA - they've proven time and again they're incompetent developers
Any Halo rip off series - I thought they killed it already?
Any game series that recently released a game with "4" at the end of it
Game Series that Need Revived
Skies of Arcadia - It was a JRPG that was fun and original. It needs a sequal
Power Stone - Very fun and original fighting game, a genre that has seen better days. Capcom REALLY needs to pick this one up and make a sequel with online play.
Sonic Battle and other good Sonic series that were not made by SEGA - In the past 7 years, the best of Sonic's games were not made by Sonic Team. I honestly believe SEGA should just outsource all of their franchises to other studios. Those studios not only make better games, but also they're more faithful to the series.
At least you got to hand it to them about one thing: they're pretty much trying to create a new game everytime, and that's something most developers avoid. Most developers rely on accepted characters and previous stories to milk money from a franchise. Square, on the other hand, makes a new world for every Final Fantasy...at least they used to. Now they're making a bunch of games for every new world they make. I guess that makes sense, but it kind of ruins the charm of the whole thing.

Actually, Square's been doing that since Final Fantasy 7. Nearly all of Final Fantasy 7's major story points and themes were ripped off from Final Fantasy 6. 10 borrows a lot of its mythos from FF7. 10-2 took the job systems of FF3 and FF5. 12 borrows pretty much all of its metaverse from FFTA and some plot elements of FFT. 13 Versus appears to take the sacred crystal macGuffins of FF4.eatenbyagrue said:

Halo possibly needs to sink, but... They could bring Master Chief back for one more round with whatever caused that massive flash of light in the end was though. Either realistically progress that series or scrap it. That said, I don't like scrapping any series that still has a chance of a good life. Halo 3 ended on a cliffhanger, and the words "wake me when you need me."
Sonic needs to take a break. I don't mean kill him, but he needs to take some time out till the writers can think of something approaching decent. Fable could possibly use the same break to realise some of what Peter Molyneux keeps espousing.

hmmm, I think halo has had its time, the first 2 were good, and the 3rd was ok, but wars? hmm, I think the francise is slowly getting worse.
Revived? the old oddworld games, back when they were side scrolling, blood curdling, mince meating, gun shooting, dog charming, grunt commanding, puzzle, fun.
Edit: I forgot mudoken chopping

I believe there should be a limit on how many games a franchise can have, half the time you could just change the title and release it as a new game. The old crowd that the companies fed on is gone and hate them, they need to give it up give us an original game.
I'm going to agree with 90% of the people here when I say: Mario, Sonic, Zelda and Halo need a knife stuck right between the eyes.
The only game I would like to see brought back is the Bloody Roar series....Your average fighting game except everyone can transform into animals and shit. Does it get any better than seeing a lion dropkick a penguin in the face? I think not.

I know Munch's Oddyssey wasn't all that, but did you play Stranger's Wrath? It's one of the finest FPS' out there, and I heartily recommend it.rowan-thats-me said:
I'd love to see Oddworld make more games, but I don't want them to re-tread the same ground they've walked before. Those side-scrolling Abe games were brilliant - Exoddus is my favourite game of all time - but I don't want that to be all Oddworld is capable of making.
What The F*** are you talking about.Zenode said:
I don't play WoW. but seriously, A Game with 2 Expansion packs thats been out for like ??? 4 or 5 year max. How is that been around for too long. It's not Like Final Fantasy where they've made like 9000 games. (Not saying i have a problem with FF, but I can understand people who get sick of it.)
